Executed?

[edit]

I have heard, that this empress was exposed with an attempt to poison one of her husband's sons by the empress dowager, and that she was ordered to comitt suicide, though this was not made official. If there is any truth in this, then it should be mentioned in the article. --85.226.47.188 (talk) 18:29, 2 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

That has been inserted today: According to the legend of her death, the empress was discovered in an attempt to poison one of the princes in order to get her own son closer to the throne. One day, she offered Prince Yi Xin to dine with her. She served him fish, but told her own son not to eat of it. When Yi Xin heard this, he refused to eat aswell. Yi Xin trew the fish on the floor, were it was eaten by a cat. The cat died. Yi Xin informed the emperors mother, the empress dowager. The empress dowager told the emperor. To avoid a trial, the empress comitted suicide.--85.226.44.74 (talk) 15:08, 19 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
